REFRAME Coming soon to a community group near you! Can faith be relevant to all aspects of
our lives? What does it mean to live authentically as Christians today? This 10-week video-based
course helps Christians explore how the Bible and the power of Christ reframes our lives, and
invites us to reframe our world with him. We will walk through the “big story” of Scripture, and
examine how this story has shaped historical Christian communities and their cultures, and what
its implications are for living today. For more information contact Mike Janz.
